Chapter 7: Configuration Management with Ansible
We have already covered the two most crucial phases of the continuous delivery process: the commit phase and automated acceptance testing. We also explained how to cluster your environments for both your application and Jenkins agents. In this chapter, we will focus on configuration management, which connects the virtual containerized environment to the real server infrastructure.
This chapter will cover the following points:
- Introducing configuration management
- Installing Ansible
- Using Ansible
- Deployment with Ansible
- Ansible with Docker and Kubernetes
- Introducing infrastructure as code
- Introducing Terraform
